Johannesburg is a beautiful city – very diverse culture with great shopping places and a remarkable nightlife that might not be found in other places in South Africa. As the gateway to the beauty of South Africa, it’s no wonder why Johannesburg is among the favorite tourist destinations in this region.
But don’t just content yourself with the partying and shopping. Remember that Johannesburg is still Africa which means the massive wildlife reserves are just a few hours drive from the city. Get up close and personal to some of the earth’s remarkable animals which come in drones – a feature that could only be found in this continent.
Natural Beauty
The following are the national parks near to the famed Sun City:
• Pilansberg National Park
• Kruger National Park
• Apricot Hill Farm
• Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve
The average driving time to reach these destinations is one to two hours. Some say it’s exhausting but along the way, you will already see some of the wildlife Africa is known for. Once you get to your destination, your exhaustion will practically go away.
Most of the national parks mentioned offer optional lodging wherein you can stay there for the night. But don’t expect world class accommodations here. These are usually lodging houses well enough for a good night’s rest.
It is also important to get in touch with the national park before going there. The facilities especially the tour guides are a little bit limited in most of the national park. Get in touch with them so that you can have a reservation.
